A woman who received money from the social amelioration program (SAP) of the government has been praised on social media because of her honesty.

On April 19, Whendy Pido, 28, a resident of Basak, Magpet, North Cotabato, captured the attention of the social media users after her story was featured by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD).

According to the post of DSWD Region 12, Pido decided to return the money she received from the SAP worth P5,000, admitting that her husband, who resided to another barangay, already received financial aid.

Pido said that she returned the money because she believes that many people badly needed the social amelioration program, especially that the funds were just limited.

She also pointed out that she might face the consequences in the future if she accepted the money.

Social Amelioration Program rules prohibit two beneficiaries per family.
